The spinning accessory may grab
the surface and pull the power tool
out of your control.
Do not run the power tool while carrying

it at your side.
Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory could snag your clothing,
pulling the accessory into your body.
Regularly clean the power tool's air

vents.
The motor's fan will draw the dust inside
the housing and excessive accumulation
of powdered metal may cause electrical
hazards.
Do not operate the power tool near flam-

mable materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid

coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may
result reesult in electrocution or shock.
Kickback and Related Warnings:
Kickback is the sudden reaction to a pin-
ched or snagged rotating insertion tool,
such as a sanding disc, sanding pad, wire
brush, etc. Pinching or snagging may cause
a rotating insertion tool to stop abruptly.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is
snagged or pinched by the workpiece,
the edge of the wheel that is entering into
the pinch point can dig into the surface
of the material causing the wheel to climb
out or kick out. The wheel may either jump
toward or away from the operator, depen-
ding on direction of the wheel's movement
at the point of pinching.
Abrasive wheels may also break under
these conditions.
For example, if a sanding disc is snagged
or pinched by the workpiece, the edge
of the sanding disc which is entering
the workpiece may become caught and
cause the sanding disc to break off or kick
back. The sanding disc then moves towards
or away from the operator, depending
on the direction in which the disc is rotating
at the point of pinching. Sanding discs may
also break under these conditions.
A recoil occurs if the electric power tool
is used incorrectly or improperly.
A recoil can be prevented by appropriate
precautions as described below.

Maintain a firm grip on the power tool

and position your body and arm to allow
you to resist kickback forces.
Always use auxiliary handle, if provided,
for maximum control over kickback
or torque reaction during start-up.
The operator can control torque re-
actions or kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
Never place your hand near the rotating

accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
Do not position your body in the area

where power tool will move if kickback
occurs.
Kickback propels the electric power
tool in the direction opposite to the move-
ment of the sanding disc at the point
of pinching.
Use special care when working corners,

sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and
snagging the accessory.
Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have
a tendency to snag the rotating acces-
sory and cause loss of control or kick-
back. This causes a loss of control
or kickback.
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving

blade or toothed saw blade.
Such blades create frequent kickback
and loss of control.
Special safety instructions for grinding and
cut-off grinding:
Use only those sanding tools authorised

for use with your electric power tool and
the guard designated for this sanding
tool.
Sanding tools, which are not designated
for use with the electric power tool,
cannot be adequately shielded and
are unsafe.
The guard must be attached securely

to the electric power tool and adjusted
to ensure maximum safety, i.e. the smal-
lest possible part of the sanding tool
is exposed to the operator.
The guard should protect the operator
from fragments and accidental contact
with the sanding tool.
